A set of hand-drawn John Bell pin designs from the production of Robert Zemeckis' supernatural comedy Death Becomes Her. Lisle von Rhoman (Isabella Rossellini) presented Madeline Ashton (Meryl Streep) with a potion for eternal youth and then placed a small golden pin on her shirt.

The lot includes seven pages of hand-drawn ink and marker designs, three pages of hand-colored photocopies of designs, one ink on paper design for the necklace that the pin is taken from in the film, and two faxed pages of notes stapled to the necklace design page. A few brief handwritten notations are amongst the drawings, as well as the signature "J. Bell" and date "10.91." Eight of the sheets are three-hole punched and the remaining five are not. The lot is in excellent overall condition with minimal wear from use and age, including a few very small stains and fading to the faxed sheets. Dimensions: (largest) 8 1/2" x 12" (21.75 cm x 30.5 cm); (smallest) 8 1/2" x 11" (21.75 cm x 28 cm)
